Coworking centers offer desks or workstations in communal work areas, accessible through a gym/club-style membership. Users pay a monthly fee and use the workspace as needed.

Coworking centers are fully furnished and offer standard business amenities including internet service, copy/print/scan/fax/shred equipment and coffee. Most also offer phone booths and/or private offices that can be rented by the hour for when users need privacy, and conference rooms for when users need to meet with others.

Some coworking centers also offer private rooms for rent by the month, and some offer dedicated workstations that allow the member to have his or her own space and the ability to leave belongings at the workstation between visits.

Coworking members bring their own laptops and mobile phones but most everything else is provided by the coworking center.

A coworking membership for an individual in a typical coworking center would include a one-time setup fee and a monthly membership fee. Most offer a few different plans, including part-time and full-time options that members can choose based on their expected usage. Most plans are very flexible, usually month-to-month arrangements with minimal notice to terminate.

For corporate users, the employer typically pays one membership fee based on the number of employees who would be using the coworking space. Rates and features are often customized, as enterprise needs vary from one employer to another.

Most coworking centers are flexible in terms of invoicing and payment. Employers can choose to have one membership plan with centralized billing and payment. But employers can also take advantage of group membership rates while still having employees billed individually and reimbursed through their company’s expense reimbursement procedures.
